Video: The left’s got a fee-vah and the only prescription is more Elizabeth Warren

Via Legal Insurrection, which headlines this aptly as “Warren vs. Brown is the new Wisconsin recall.” Remember that widely-linked NYT piece back in November about the left transferring their utopian expectations of Obama to Warren? Here’s the perfect belated video accompaniment, replete with a grinning Van Jones floating the idea of a President Fauxcahontas a few minutes in. From the Times piece:

Even though she’s running for the Senate and not for the presidency, the early devotion to Warren recalls the ardor once felt by many for Obama. On its face, this is odd: Warren is not a world-class orator, she is not young or shiny or new, she doesn’t fizz with the promise of American possibility that made the Obama campaign pop. Instead, she’s a mild-mannered Harvard bankruptcy-law professor and a grandmother of three, a member of the older-white-lady demographic (she’s 62) that was written off in 2008 as being the antimatter of hope and change.

And yet, on a deeper level, her popularity makes perfect sense. Embracing Warren as the next “one” is, in part, a way of getting over Obama; she provides an optimistic distraction from the fact that under our current president, too little has changed, for reasons having to do both with the limitations of the political system and the limitations of the man. She makes people forget that estimations of him were too overheated, trust in his powers too fervid. As the feminist philanthropist Barbara Lee told me of Warren, “This moment of disillusion is why people find her so compelling, because she brings forth the best in people and she brings back that excitement.”…

It also helps that Warren has never run for office before. Like Obama in ’08, she’s a blank screen onto which admirers can project whatever they most want to see. Over the course of her career, Warren has been able to advocate for struggling people without actually having to work for­ — and thus inevitably disappoint — them. What her admirers on the left see is a woman who rises above everything wormy in Washington, including indiscriminate partisan loyalty.

It’s take two on progressive utopia, this time with a totally revamped messenger. Instead of banking on a young guy with a thin resume but loads of charisma and rhetorical talent to convince America to embrace Great Society II, they’re banking on an older woman with little charisma or oratorical power but a long CV and an even deeper commitment than O to “economic justice.” (One point in common between them: They’re both into invented identity.) I think LI is right that her race against Brown, more than any other, will be used by the left as a hedge against the presidential election. If they win both, they’ll be sky high; if Romney wins but Warren pulls it out in Massachusetts, they’ll be bummed but excited to have her as the new de facto leader of the opposition in the Senate. And if both lose, that’ll be total Waterloo. I can’t imagine to whom they’d turn after that. Hillary in desperation? She’ll probably lie low for a year or two after the election and, with no official soapbox and no looming presidential race, won’t be well positioned to attack Romney. Progressives aren’t big fans of hers anyway. Andrew Cuomo? He’s a top prospect but it’d be hard for him to lead the charge in D.C. from Albany. Pelosi? She’ll be yesterday’s news if the GOP holds the House. Sherrod Brown? Sherrod who?

It’s really Warren or nothing for the left if Obama crumbles. On that note, go read Michael Patrick Leahy’s newest piece at Breitbart.com about her academic record. The story’s moving on from questions about her ancestry but there are questions of other sorts popping up.

I can’t believe any male who has a family and gets up in the morning and puts on a suit and drives to work at a bank, accounting office, or any place of business is actually going to vote for her, I don’t care if it is Massachusetts. She’s channeled loud and clear she’s after your paycheck to divide it evenly amount those who are still in bed and won’t be awake until this afternoon, maybe. And they aren’t going to work anywhere.

Dayum! If Elizabeth Warren is really popular among liberals, then they’re even stranger than I thought. Bring’er on, Van. You can fling me in that briar patch any day. Just don’t bring no Mark Warner. That guy has could beat some Republicans, with his resume. Fortunately, the left would hate him for that very reason. Self-immolating ijits that they are.

I dig his plan. He believes that in MA, Dems can come up with enough fraudulent votes to carry Fauxahontas to the finish line regardless of polls, and thus pushes us to donate to Scott Walker to drain the conservative money out that would do more good elsewhere.

When Barackabama loses, I doubt he’ll go away quietly. I suspect he’ll be around in 2016.

Yes , there are more important races than this , looks like part decoy part floundering lunacy from van jones.

This is going to make a great video for clips (to use for all these endorsing politicians showing their inability to judge character) when Fauxahonas Warren gets on her pony and rides in the sunset leaving MA D s scrambling for a candidate.

The Fauxchahonas tribe is trying to put on their “War Paint” ( No offense to our Native Americans, I served in the Corps wirh outstanding and in my view the finest of NA Marines).

Coming into the lazy summer days on the Cape, Fauxchahontas and her band of misfits are running mad trying to find another vote somewhere. The DNC is flooding her run like the WI recall, no more money…honey!

So she’s a cheater (Breitbart article), a liar (Harvard “woman of color”), made a tonne of money flipping foreclosed houses lost due to subprime mortgages (WSJ), defended Traveller’s Insurance and helped it screw mesothelioma victims out of tens of millions of dollars (Boston Herald), and is a plagiariser like Joe Biden and the man, who once sat in the Senate seat that she seeks to occupy, Teddy Kennedy. No wonder liberals like her.

It’s really Warren or nothing for the left if Obama crumbles. On that note, go read Michael Patrick Leahy’s newest piece at Breitbart.com about her academic record. The story’s moving on from questions about her ancestry but there are questions of other sorts popping up.

Uh-oh, looks like Warren could be another Michael Bellesiles. Not really a surprise, someone that would lie about their family history to fake an AA admissions would find it very easy to fudge research for a book.

Indian squaw “Runs with Lies” is one of the best things to happen to conservative blogs. Never read such funny posts!

OT- Why do all the wimminses in 0-bl0w-me’s administration have more testosterone, cajones, and facial hair than Teh 0ne? And they dress more manly than the Mom-jeaned Wonder. No need for ball-room jeans for him! (Moochelle’s taken care of THOSE!)

I’m pretty sure that guy just called Obama a ‘constitutional scholar’. Coming from a self proclaimed progressive belonging to a group with the main goal of abolishing the 2nd Amendment adds an interesting frosting of irony atop this man’s cake.
PS- He is most assuredly both eating and having too.

The chin-fuzz around the 2 minute mark grosses me out.
Otherwise, nothing new. Elizabeth Warren has been hand picked by Soros et al and is a rockstar at NIRS and other federal nanny programs infiltrated by the left.

Just wish Elisabeth (“Stands with a Latte”) Warren would go full Indian, so I could take her land holdings and Buffalo from her, leaving her with nothing but casinos and non-taxed cigarettes to offer. Isn’t that what us pale-faces are supposed to do?

Remember that widely-linked NYT piece back in November about the left transferring their utopian expectations of Obama to Warren?

God how pathetic…..

This is the same over the top glorification and rhetoric these same “progressives” were saying about Obama just a few years ago.

All we heard was how incredibly intelligent and tuned in to the “everyday people” Obama was….how he was going to change the world…..stop all the abuses of power that they supposedly saw from Bush…..bring America back to a respectful status internationally…….and bring all sides together for “the common good of man”…..

…”the greatest administration ever.”

Blah….Blah….Blah….

Now that Obama has actually had to “govern” and produced nothing but spectacular failure…..it’s time to shift all that Messiah worship onto the next socialist genie in a bottle.

Watching liberals run around trying to find somebody to follow would be so hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic.

A few months back when everyone on Facebook, etc were passing around a pic of her at a campaign stop with the text of her rant, I had no idea who she was or what she was running for. All I could think was “why are they posting pics of an angry schoolmarm quoting Mussolini?!?”

Folks I would not be the least bit surprised if she won. Remember what state we are talking about and who they re-elected time after time. Murdered a young woman? No biggie as long as he’s a leftwing loon like us.
Sorry, but I don’t see Brown taking it. I would LOVE to be wrong.

for such a tiny car, look how many subsets of usually protected liberal pets can be thrown under it- like say actual Cherokees and Indians and real women of color…

they are just terrible people. they got power when It was elected and look what they do with it-look what they are willing to do to keep it.

it’s only recently that i’ve seen any warren bumperstickers- and that would total 2 ( on cars with de-evolve patrick and barry stickers naturally)and i live near her reservation of millionaires so i’d say that’s pathetic. anecdotal but pathetic.

Over and above her phony Indian claim, Warren who has co-authored a number of books has credibly been accused of academic malfeasance, e.g. she skewed data accumulated from other sources to present conclusions she and her co-authors wished to reach.

People really need to take a very close look at her veracity and integrity. Going to find her wanting I suspect.

BigSvens “Take-Away thoughts” from the video:

The video trots out several examples of Leftoids. Funny, they all actually seem the same. And yet, Leftoids are really actually different than the rest of us. Leftoids lack any vision of their own, but they do make excellent, highly regimented and robotic followers.

Now if we can get them all moving toward the cliffs, which appears is now happening, we can get every last one of these leftoid morons to go over…such a blissful thought :D

I think we learned all we needed along those lines when it became clear that she lied about her heritage for preferential treatment in hiring. Now, by all accounts, she isn’t a bad professor (just a typical far-left liberal). But “not bad” professors who graduated from Rutgers do not get tenured in the Ivy League without a hook and faux-heritage was Warren’s way of getting there. These are not qualities we need in any politician at any level of government.

Instead of banking on a young guy with a thin resume but loads of charisma and rhetorical talent

I still don’t get this conceit. I realize that I am biased, but I don’t see evidence of “charisma” or great “rhetorical talent”.

Wouldn’t great rhetorical talent mean he said something that moved or persuaded you? Something memorable? Something inventive and interesting?

When has he ever done that? What phrase or concept has he put forth that anyone remembers? Being able to give a couple of well received speeches does not make one a great “rhetorical talent”. Particularly when the speeches in question were nothing but red-meat cliches strung together for his base.

As for charisma, I also see no real evidence of that. He has no wit, no charm, no ability to connect. Instead, he is aloof, peevish and condescending.

I understand that there is some kind of law that whenever discussing Obama, we have to pretend these things are true, but I wish someone would present me some evidence of it. Yes, in 2008 he was treated as a rock star – but that was because of the fact that a) he was black; b) it was pretty clear from the get-go he would win; and c) the left/media was desperate for a democrat to be president after 8 years of W. He didn’t do anything to earn any of that adulation then or now.

This is Great News. Next time the feds or an employer ask me my ethnicity I am going to claim Inuit. I’ve only been to Alaska once. But if a fake Amer-Ind with a degree from Rutgers and lily white skin can make millions at Harvard. Think of the fake success a fake Inuit with lily white skin can have.Elizabeth Warren is now my hero. She may have single-handedly ended all talk of affirmative action and diversity for the sake of diversity.

This woman getting elected into the Senate scares me more than a second Obama presidency. She is the real deal socialist/communist. No respect for private property and would not hesitate to take our guns away. Truly scary.
